Former Fulham youngster seen as replacement for Swansea bound Joseph Opoku | OneFootball

HNB are reporting that Zulte Waregem are looking to sign former Fulham and Hibs winger Sylvester Jasper. With Joseph Opoku looking set to depart for Swansea, Zulte Waregem are looking for reinforcements up top. The 24-year-old Bulgarian winger Jasper came through the academy at Fulham, with loan spells at various clubs before he left in 2023. This past season he has been playing in the Serbian topflight for Zeleznicar Pancevo.

Jasper made his senior debut for Fulham during the 2019/2020 season, but would never add to those three appearances. Instead, he spent time on loan at Colchester, Hibs and Bristol Rovers. In 2023 he left Fulham to join Portimonense in Portugal, playing 29 games that season with two goals and two assists.

For the 2024/2025 campaign he moved to Poland and joined Slask Wroclaw, playing 21 games that season. Again, it was only a short term deal, and the following summer he joined his current side Zeleznicar Pancevo. The 2025/2026 season was the best of Jasper’s career, with seven goals and three assists in 32 games. He has already played a game this season with the Serbian Super Liga starting early. Jasper provided an assist as his side beat Radnicki Nis 2-1.

His Zeleznicar Pancevo side are set to face Braga this evening in a Conference League qualifier. HNB suggests that he will then begin negotiations with Zulte Waregem over a transfer to the Belgian Pro League.
